Histoire de Paris

Maison de Marie Dorval
Sur cet emplacement s’élevait une maison où Marie Dorval habita à partir de 1833. Marie Dorval tenait salon précédemment rue Meslay. Elle était mariée à un journaliste, Monsieur Merle, et avait deux filles, Gabrielle et Louise. Elle recevait beaucoup d’écrivains : Soulié, Dumas, Sainte-Beuve, Hugo, Paul Foucher, Fontaney et surtout Alfred de Vigny avec lequel elle entretint une longue liaison. Celui-ci habitait 6, rue des Ecuries d’Artois (rue d’Artois actuelle) et venait chaque jour chez Marie Dorval. Il réussit avec l’aide de Dumas à la faire engager à la Comédie Française. Elle y créa Chatterton le 12 février 1835; elle y jouait le rôle de Kitty Bell, avec un grand succès. La pièce avait été acceptée grâce a l’appui du roi Louis- Philippe. Marie Dorval, qui était née à L’orient en 1798, mourut à Paris en 1849, Vigny lui survé- cut jusqu’en 1863.

History of Paris

House of Marie Dorval
On this site stood a house where Marie Dorval lived from 1833. Marie Dorval previously ran a salon on rue Meslay. She was married to a journalist, Monsieur Merle, and had two daughters, Gabrielle and Louise. She received many writers: Soulié, Dumas, Sainte-Beuve, Hugo, Paul Foucher, Fontaney and especially Alfred de Vigny with whom she maintained a long relationship. He lived at 6, rue des Ecuries d’Artois (present-day rue d’Artois) and came to Marie Dorval’s house every day. With the help of Dumas, he succeeded in getting her hired at the Comédie Française. She created Chatterton there on February 12, 1835; she played the role of Kitty Bell, with great success. The piece was accepted thanks to the support of King Louis-Philippe. Marie Dorval, who was born in L’Orient in 1798, died in Paris in 1849; Vigny survived her until 1863.
